Linear-optics manipulations of photon-loss codes

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We discuss codes for protecting logical qubits carried by optical fields from the effects of amplitude damping, i.e. linear photon loss. We demonstrate that the correctability condition for one-photon loss imposes limitations on the range of manipulations than can be implemented with passive linear-optics networks.
